3 Environmental Benefits Introduction The Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS) will improve the level and quality of passenger rail service, offering: A 3,000-mile system, using existing rail rights-of-way shared with freight and commuter rail Safe, comfortable and reliable service to over 100 Midwestern cities, linking the region s major economic centers Access to approximately 80 percent of the region s 65 million residents Population growth will increase the use of all modes of transportation in the future, adding congestion and delay. The Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS) can bring significant environmental benefits by providing a viable alternative to auto and air travel. Studies undertaken for several proposed high speed rail projects in the United States have shown the following environmental benefits compared with No-Build, and highway/airport alternatives: Decreased energy consumption Reduced air pollutant emissions and improved air quality Less land required compared to expanding existing highways and airports Opportunities for transit-oriented land use development State-of-the-art train equipment capable of operating at speeds of up to 110 mph More and better amenities, including first class seating for all, power outlets at each seat, wireless network access and food service Modern stations and intermodal facilities Dedicated feeder bus service connecting communities without direct rail service to the system The enhanced regional transportation infrastructure and services will result in significant economic benefits and new Midwest jobs, while strengthening the region s manufacturing, service and tourism industries, and protecting the environment. Fewer environmental impacts on sensitive habitats and water resources (floodplains, streams, and wetlands) than highway/airport alternatives ~13~ ~2~
4 User Benefits The user benefit is the overall savings to users of the Midwest transportation system derived from the Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS). Sources that produce this benefit are: The reduction in travel times that users of MWRRS receive The reduction in travel times and costs that users of other transportation modes receive as a result of lower congestion levels Reductions in emissions as a result of travelers being diverted from air, bus and auto The MWRRS will generate a $23.1 billion user benefit over the 40- year life of the project and has a benefit-to-cost ratio of 1.8, which indicates that for each dollar spent on the system one dollar and eighty cents is returned in benefits. This is one of the highest returns for any regional rail system in the U.S. Additionally, businesses using MWRRS will benefit from reduced transportation costs. Freight rail operations also will benefit from reduced congestion and enhanced safety, as a result of MWRRS track and signal improvements in shared corridors. Capital Investment by Corridor The 3,000-mile rail network to be used by the Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS) is largely in good condition. Freight railroads own the majority of the system. Amtrak and Chicago s commuter rail operator, Metra, own the remainder. Amtrak uses some of the lines for its various passenger services. The rail infrastructure must be improved and enhanced to integrate the proposed MWRRS onto the existing rail network and simultaneously preserve the integrity of current and future freight and commuter operations. MWRRS CAPITAL INVESTMENT BY CORRIDOR (MILLIONS 2002$) Corridor Infrastructure Train Total Equipment Chicago - Detroit/ $873 $234 $1,106 Grand Rapids/Port Huron Chicago - Cleveland $1,187 $152 $1,338 Chicago - Cincinnati $606 $101 $707 Chicago - Carbondale $232 $51 $283 Chicago - St. Louis $445 $115 $560 St. Louis - Kansas City $893* $86 $980 Chicago - Quincy/Omaha $638 $167 $806 Chicago - Milwaukee - $1,638 $222 $1,860 St. Paul/Green Bay Chicago Terminal $60 - $60 and Waterford Shop TOTAL $6,572 $1,128 $7,700 * Estimate subject to additional analysis and refinement. ~3~ ~12~
5 Construction Spending Impacts The economic impacts of construction are: 15,200 average annual jobs during the 10-year construction period, of which 6,000 are construction jobs 152,000 person years of work during the construction period $5.3 billion of increased earnings over the construction period $16.9 billion of increased output by the region s businesses during the construction period Source: Transportation Economics and Management Systems, Inc.

7 Station Development Benefits Increased train operations from high speed rail systems can positively change the character of the urban environment around stations. The improved service and new stations encourage development of nearby properties. The resulting increase in property values is referred to as joint development potential. Joint development potential for MWRRS communities has been estimated at $4.9 billion with investment varying by station size, location and level of increase in passenger activity. Comparison with previous station-related development shows that these benefits would likely be distributed among MWRRS stations as follows: Stations with highest level of benefits (examples): Chicago: $ $1.73 billion St. Louis: $167 - $250 million Milwaukee: $152 - $227 million Stations with high level of benefits (examples): Indianapolis: $121 - $182 million Cincinnati: $119 - $179 million St. Paul: $102 - $153 million Stations with moderate level of benefits (examples): Ann Arbor: $48 - $72 million Omaha: $23 - $34 million Iowa City: $14 - $21 million MWRRS station development will bring together many modes of travel trains, planes, taxis, private automobiles, and regional, inter-city, and airport buses in order to maximize the benefits and efficiencies. Examples of high speed equipment proposed for Midwest Regional Rail System ~9~ ~6~
8 Community Benefits The development of the Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS) will significantly expand the region s economy. Economic gains include: 57,450 permanent new jobs across the Midwest $1.096 billion dollars of extra household income across the nine-state region $4.911 billion dollars of increased joint development potential for the 102 cities with MWRRS stations MWRRS will support existing industries and foster the growth of new businesses across the Midwest by improving access between communities. It also will encourage large businesses to distribute their operations more widely into smaller, highly accessible Midwestern communities that provide a high quality of life for residents.
